You are now the proud owner of one of the world’s finest and most superbly engi-

neered firearms. The HS 2000 semiautomatic pistol has been designed and crafted

to meet the stringent requirements of law enforcement agencies and the military.

Used with the proper ammunition and given reasonable maintenance, it will serve

you dependably for many years.

To make sure you get the best performance and reliability from your pistol, please

read and follow the procedures outlined in this manual. You’ll notice that we place a

heavy emphasis on safe firearms handling. Like any other mechanical devices, such

as automobiles or power tools, high quality firearms are inherently safe unless they

are handled in a careless or irresponsible manner. Always remember that you, the

owner, are the ultimate safety device.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The HS 2000 safety locked action pistol, with its world class design, combines all the

features demanded of the modern handgun of today - and of tomorrow.

• Extremely light weight / high strength design

• Four redundant safeties

• Excellent performance and reliability

• Manufactured using the best technology and materials available in the world

Manufactured by advanced state-of-the-art production processes, the HS 2000 is a

mechanically locked, short recoil operated pistol featuring an automatic firing pin,

block / drop safety, grip safety, trigger safety and out of battery safety. Firing takes

place with each pull of the trigger until the magazine is empty. The slide stays open

after you’ve fired the last shot. The action of the HS 2000 pistol utilizes a tilting bar-

rel design in which the barrel and slide are locked together at the moment of firing.

After firing, the barrel and slide recoil to the rear a short distance while still locked

together. After this initial movement, the barrel tilts downward from its locked posi-

tion, permitting full recoil of the slide and the extraction and ejection of the spent

cartridge case. The user of this or any auto loading pistol must always remember that

when fired, it automatically reloads and recocks itself, so that simply pulling the trig-

ger will fire the pistol again. Therefore, an auto loading pistol user must be particu-

larly, conscious to always keep the pistol pointed in a safe direction. You should

become familiar with your pistol and its operation before using any live ammunition

or actual shooting. Study the instructions carefully and make sure you understand

the pistol’s operating guidelines.

A LWAYS INSTRUCT CHILDREN TO RESPECT FIREARMS. IF YOU T E ACH YOUR CHILDREN TO SHOOT, T E AC H

THEM TO USE THE PISTOL PROPERLY, AND A LWAYS SUPERVISE THEM CLOSELY, STRESSING SAFETY.

The HS 2000 Pistols are equipped with a rear sight wh i ch is adjustable for

windage only. The rear sight can be drifted laterally in its dovetail on the top of

the slide by tapping it with a wooden or nylon drift or similar implement. Move

the rear sight in the direction you want the shot to move on the target. The front

sight is fixed. Both front and rear sights are provided with white-dot inserts for

rapid target acquisition and easy alignment of the sights to obtain a correct sight

picture.

S I G H T S

The HS 2000 pistol is equipped with drift adjustable fixed sights wh i ch

h a ve proven their worth under severe conditions. The sights consist of a rear

sight and a front sight blade, designed and dimensioned to ensure rapid target

acquisition and correct sight picture even when visibility is poor. You can adjust

the sights as follow s :

Windage: Change windage by moving the rear sight either to the left or right in

its dovetail. When you do this, follow the rear sight rule: Move the rear

sight in the direction you want the group to go. Moving the rear sight 0.020”in

the dovetail changes the point of impact by approximately 3” at 25 yards. ( N o t e :

H S America has available a Combination Sight Pusher tool which makes it easier

to adjust and change sights.)

E l e va t i o n : There are different heights available for the rear sight. The sights are

numbered according to their height. You can change elevation by changing the

rear sight. Each rear sight change will move the impact of the bullet approxi-

mately 2” at 25 yards.

Re m e m b e r, a higher rear sight will raise the impact of the bullet; a lower re a r

sight will lower the impact of the bullet.

6. YOU SHOULD ALWAYS BE SURE THAT THE BARREL OF YOUR FIREARM IS COM-

PLETELY CLEAR OF ANY OBSTRUCTIONS BEFORE DISCHARGING YOUR FIREARM.

If your firearm seems to operate or function in any abnormal man-

ner CEASE FIRING, unload and inspect your firearm for obstruc-

tions or mechanical problems. NEVER try to clear a barrel

obstruction by discharging your firearm.

7. ALWAYS USE PROPER CALIBER,HIGH QUALITY NEW PRODUCTION AMMUNI-

TION IN YOUR FIREARM.NEVER use “reloaded” or “re-manufactured”

ammunition. The use of improper ammunition is dangerous and

will void the warranty of your HS pistol.

8. EYE PROTECTION AND EAR PROTECTION SHOULD ALWAYS BE WORN BY YOU

AND ANYONE NEAR YOU WHEN DISCHARGING ANY FIREARM.

9. NEVER USE OR HANDLE A FIREARM WHEN UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF ALCO-

HOL OR DRUGS.This includes any over the counter or prescribed

drugs that might affect your coordination or judgment. Use of a

firearm under the influence of alcohol or drugs is extremely dan-

gerous and constitutes a serious criminal offense.

10. NEVER TRANSPORT A LOADED FIREARM.A suitable carrying case or

scabbard should always be used when transporting your unloaded

weapon to or from your shooting range or area.

SAFETY DEVICES

The HS 2000 has no traditionally and externally located manual safety leve r.

Therefore make sure that the trigger is only touched if you intend to fire.

1. GRIP SAFETY, It is located on the upper rear portion of the pistol’s grip.

Properly gripping the HS 2000 in your shooting hand will automatically

press the grip safety. Once the grip safety is depressed, the sear can dis-

engage from the firing pin if the trigger and trigger safety are pulled.

Note: While the grip safety is engaged, the entire action of the pistol is

locked.

2. TRIGGER SAFETY, It is incorporated into the trigger in the form of a lever,

and in the untouched state locks the trigger from moving backward. The

trigger can only be pulled if depressed together with the trigger safety.The

safety locked action pistol is, therefore, ready for firing at any time once

the grip safety is disengaged and the trigger with trigger safety is pulled.

3. FIRING PIN BLOCK/DROP SAFETY ,A spring loaded pin projects into

the firing pin cut-out, and blocks the movement of the firing pin. This

safety is only released when the grip safety is disengaged, the trigger safe-

ty is disengaged, and the trigger is pulled back.

4. OUT OF BATTERY SAFETY,A cut out in the slide will only allow the trig-

ger bar to disengage the sear from the firing pin only if the side is fully

forward and in battery.

THE SAFETY DEVICES 1, 2, and 3 above are designed to

prevent the weapon from unintentional discharge.

SAFETY DEVICE 4 is designed to protect the shooter

from firing the pistol in an unsafe condition.

BECOME FAMILIAR WITH YOUR PISTOL, UNDERSTAND

THE INSTRUCTIONS FULLY BEFORE USING IT.

What you should know about all safety mechanisms:

NEVER completely trust any safety mechanism. Your pistol is

equipped with an effecti ve, well designed safety mechanism.

NO SAFETY MECHANISM, HOWEVER, IS A SUBSTITUTE FOR PROPER

GUN HANDLING. Any safety mechanism can break down or malfunction.

YOU, AND YOU ALONE, ARE THE ULTIMATE SAFETY MECHANISM.

Remember, there is no such thing as a “childproof” safety or one whic h

can completely prevent accidental discharge from careless or irresponsible

use. The best safety is proper and applied training in safe gun handling.

Firearms work reliably if properly maintained. If there is a malfunction

during firing, here’s what to do:

1. Keep the pistol pointed in a safe direction with your finger off the trigger.

2. Remove and secure the magazine.

3. Move the slide rearward and forward to clear any cartridge that may be in

the chamber.

4. If you suspect that a bullet is lodged in the bore, field strip (page 18) your pistol

and check to see if the barrel is blocked. If there is a bullet lodged in the bore,

return the pistol to HS America. See instructions on page 30.

Follow the above procedures if:

• You notice that a cartridge is difficult to chamber, or

•A cartridge does not fire, or

• The mechanism fails to extract a fired cartridge case, or

• You discover unburned grains of propellant powder spilled in the mechanism, or

•A shot sounds or feels weak or abnormal.

IF A BULLET IS LODGED IN THE BORE, DO NOT ATTEMPT TO SHOOT IT OUT BY USING

A N O THER CA R TRIDGE, OR BY BLOWING IT OUT WITH A BLANK OR A CA R TRIDGE FROM

WHICH THE BULLET HAS BEEN REMOV E D . THIS CAN GENERATE EXCESSIVE PRESSURE,

DA M AGE THE FIREARM AND CAUSE SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY.

NEVER TAKE ANYONE’S WORD THAT A GUN IS UNLOADED: CHECK FOR YOURSELF,

WITH FINGERS OFF THE TRIGGER, AND GUN POINTED IN A SAFE DIRECTION.

TRANSPORTATION AND STORAGE

When transporting your pistol, keep it unloaded for your safety and

for the safety of others. Know and comply with all laws governing

the transportation of firearms in your locality. When storing your pis-

tol, keep it separated from ammunition, under lock and key and out

of the reach of children and other inexperienced or unauthorized

persons. Never place or store any firearm in such a manner that it

may be dislodged or dropped. Firearms should always be stored

securely and unloaded, away from children and unauthorized per-

sons.

STORE SECURELY & UNLOADED

Before firing, remove all oil and grease from the bore. Do not keep

the pistol stored in a leather holster or case. leather attracts moisture,

even though the holster or case may appear to be perfectly dry.

Your HS 2000 pistol will function effectively and safely with a wide variety of

c o m m e rcial and military-standard ammunition. Here are some suggestions

that will help you keep your pistol free from ammunition-related problems:

1. Use only ammunition of the caliber for wh i ch your pistol is ch a m b e r e d .

The correct caliber is permanently engraved on your pistol.

2. Use only clean, dry, undamaged new factory-manufactured ammunition.

A l ways use ammunition that complies with the performance standards estab-

lished by the Sporting Arms and Ammunition Manufacturers’ Institute, Inc. of

the United States (SAAMI).

3. A l ways inspect your ammunition before use to be certain all cartridges

are the correct caliber. READ ANY WARNINGS OR INSTRUCTIONS T H A T

COME WITH YOUR A M M U N I T I O N .

4. Keep your cartridges free of oil. Wipe the chamber clean of any oil or

p r e s e r va t ive before you shoot. Oil in the chamber creates dangerous stresses.

5. Should your pistol experience a failure to fire, follow this procedure:

A lways hold the pistol keeping it pointed tow a rds the target and wait 30

seconds when pistol fails to fire. If a hangfire (slow ignition) has occurred,

the round will fire within 30 seconds. If the round does not fire, remove the

magazine, eject the round and examine the primer. If the firing pin indent on

primer is light, off center, or non-existent, have your pistol examined by a

competent gunsmith. If the firing pin indent on primer appears normal (in

comparison with similar previously fired round(s) you may assume you have

a faulty round of ammunition, segregate misfired round(s) from other live

ammunition and empty cases, reload and continue firing.

N OT E : Dispose of misfired rounds in accordance with ammunition

m a n u f a c t u re r’s instructions.

USING THE WRONG AMMUNITION COULD RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH.

CATASTROPHIC DAMAGE COULD OCCUR.

A P P R O V E D A M M U N I T I O N

WA R N I N G :

“DISCHARGING FIREARMS IN POORLY V E N T I L ATED AREAS, CLEANING FIREARMS, OR

HANDLING AMMUNITION MAY RESULT IN EXPOSURE TO LEAD AND OTHER SUBSTA N C E S

K N O WN TO CAUSE BIRTH DEFECTS, REPRODUCTIVE HARM, AND OTHER SERIOUS PHYSI-

CAL INJURY. HAVE A D E QUATE V E N T I L ATION AT ALL TIMES. WASH HANDS T H O R O U G H LY

AFTER EXPOSURE.”

T R A N S P O RTATION AND STORAGE

NEVER POINT YOUR PISTOL AT ANYTHING YOU DO NOT INTEND TO SHOOT.

LOADING THE MAGAZINE

1 .Press down on the magazine follower with the cartridge case rim.

2 .Push the cartridge to the rear and under the magazine lips.

3 .Continue until the magazine holds the desired number of cartridges.

4 .Number of inserted rounds can be ch e c ked through the indicator

holes on the back of the magazine.

A LWAYS WEAR EAR PROTECTION WHEN SHOOTING, ESPECIALLY ON A RANGE.

WITHOUT EAR PROTECTION THE NOISE FROM YOUR PISTOL AND OTHER GUNS CLOSE

TO YOU COULD LEAVE A “RINGING” IN YOUR EARS FOR SOME TIME AFTER FIRING A N D

COULD LEAD TO A CUMULATIVE AND LONG TERM PERMANENT HEARING LOSS.

to reset the safety locked action. With the pistol pointed in a safe direction,

g r asp the pistol with out depressing the grip safety. Pull the trigger and trigger

safety to the rear. The pistol should not dry fire.

S A F E T Y CAU T I O N : If the grip safety fails to keep the pistol from dry firi n g ,

do not load or fire your HS 2000 pistol. I n s t e a d , h ave the pistol inspected and

re p a i red by HS A m e r i ca , L LC or a HS-Ce r tified A r m o re r.

12.TRIGGER RESET T E S T.Being sure that the pistol is U N L OA D E D and pointed

in a safe directions, pull the trigger and hold the trigger to the rear. Yo u

should hear and feel the firing pin fall. Pull the slide to the rear and release it,

a l l owing it to snap forward. Now release the trigger. The trigger should reset

to its forward position. Repeat seve ral times.

1 3 . M AG A Z I N E INSPECTION. Inspect all magazines for dirt or visible damage,

taking special care to look for spread or damaged feed lips or broken maga-

zine followers. Press down on the follower with your fingertips and release.

The follower should spring fully upward, and should not stick inside the mag-

azine tube.

1 4 .SLIDE LOCK-OPEN T E S T. Insert an E M P T Y magazine into your pistol. Pull the

slide fully to the rear. The slide should lock open. Repeat using each of yo u r

E M P T Y m a g a z i n e s .

INSPECTION BY CERTIFIED HS A R M O R E R

HS pistols carried by law enforcement, security, or military personnel, and other

HS pistols subjected to heavy usage, should be inspected periodically by a HS-

certified A r m o r e r, or by returning the pistols to HS America, LLC. for inspection.

Although the appropriate inspection intervals will depend on the conditions of

use, a reasonable rule of thumb for law enforcement, security, and military users

is that the pistols should be inspected by a HS-certified Armorer at annual inter-

va l s .

To locate a HS-certified Armorer in your area, contact your local HS dealer or HS

America, LLC.

R E A S S E M B LY

Reassembling the HS pistol is carried out by reversing the disassembly procedure.

LOADING MAGAZINES

ALWAYS CARRY YOUR PISTOL EMPTY AND OPEN WHILE ON THE RANGE UNTIL

PREPARING TO FIRE. KEEP IT POINTING TOWARD THE BACKSTOP DURING LOADING,

THIS SHOULD BE DONE ONLY BY A QUALIFIED GUNSMITH

OR A CERTIFIED HS ARMORER.

NEVER SHOOT AT A HARD SURFACE, SUCH AS A ROCK, OR A LIQUID SURFACE,

SUCH AS WATER. A BULLET MAY RICOCHET AND TRAVEL IN ANY DIRECTION

TO STRIKE YOU, OR AN OBJECT YOU CANNOT SEE.

S I G H T P I C T U R E / F I R I N G T H E P I S T O L

SHOOTING THE PISTOL

1 .Ensure that the shooter and bystanders are wearing proper ear and

e ye protection.

2 .Aim the pistol at a safe target.

3 .Place finger on trigger ( 1 5 ) and pull back trigger ( 1 5 ) to disch a r g e

the round.

4 .Keep the pistol aimed at the target and fire further rounds as desired.

5 .While pointed in a safe direction, remove the magazine and unload

the pistol. If the pistol has been fired until the magazine is empty,

the slide ( 1 7 ) will be caught in the open position. If firing is to con-

tinue, reload the pistol (page 16).

PROPER

SIGHT ALIGNMENT

BARREL AND CHAMBER

Clean the barrel and the chamber from the rear with a quality clean-

ing solvent, using a cleaning rod and brush of the correct caliber.

Never clean the barrel from the muzzle end. Wipe the interior and

exterior of the barrel free of all residue. Lightly lubricate the barrel,

inside and out, with a quality lubricant designed for firearms.

BREECH FACE AND LOCKING INSERT

Use a small nylon bristle brush to thoroughly clean the breech face

and locking insert.

EXTERNAL METAL SURFACES

After each use, wipe all metal surfaces with a cloth lightly dampened

with a lubricant preservative. This will remove any foreign material

and preserve the finish of the pistol. Before reassembling the pistol,

lightly lubricate, with one drop of oil, the dual tension recoil spring

(19) and frame rails (21) .

FRAME

The frame should be checked for cleanliness. Exposed parts in the

frame may be wiped with a clean, soft cloth that has been slightly

dampened with a quality firearm cleaning solvent. All solvent should

then be wiped from the parts so that they are clean and dry.

NOTE: Some cleaning solvents may be harmful to the finish of your

pistol. Read the solvent manufacturer’s product use instructions and

warning labels before using.

Do not over lubricate your HS pistol. Large quantities of oil or grease

will collect unburnt powder and dirt which will accelerate wear.

ALWAYS MAKE SURE YOUR PISTOL IS UNLOADED BEFORE CLEANING. STORING,

TRAVELING, OR HANDING IT TO ANOTHER PERSON, AND MAKE SURE THE SLIDE

IS LOCKED OPEN WITH THE MAGAZINE REMOVED.

IMPORTANT:

IT IS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY TO MAINTAIN YOUR PISTOL,

IF RUST APPEARS IN THE BORE, THE BARREL SHOULD BE REPLACED.

PRIOR TO SHOOTING MAKE SURE THE BORE IS DRY.

ALWAYS KNOW YOUR TARGET, AND THE MAXIMUM RANGE OF

ALWAYS BE ABSOLUTELY SURE OF YOUR TARGET AND THE AREA BEHIND IT

BEFORE YOU SQUEEZE THE TRIGGER. A BULLET COULD TRAVEL THROUGH OR

PAST YOUR TARGET UP TO 1 1/2 MILES. IF IN DOUBT, DO NOT SHOO T.

MAGAZINE DISASSEMBLY

Magazines do not normally need to be disassem-

bled for cleaning each time your HS pistol is

cleaned. Disassembling and cleaning magazines at

less frequent intervals (perhaps every 3-4 months)

is normally sufficient, unless the magazines have

been exposed to dirt or other adverse conditions or

inspection indicates the need for cleaning.

When it is necessary to disassemble magazines for

cleaning, proceed as follow s :

S A F E T Y CAU T I O N :

The magazine spring, followe r , and inner floor

plate are under spring tension, and can cause eye

or other injury if not controlled during r e m ova l .

Wear pro t e c t ive safety glasses to reduce the risk

of eye injuries. Be sure to maintain do w n wa rd
